Andrew's View Volume 3 God is Love

It all started one rainy Sunday afternoon back in the autumn of 2007. The doorbell rang and my Church Elder, looking rather windswept, handed me a copy of the Blackbraes and Shieldhill Church of Scotland Magazine. She happened to mention how great it would be if more people would put a little article in, even if it was only a few words about themselves and their faith. It was then that I realised that I had never thought to explore or write about the times that God has influenced me, touched me and often rescued me with infinite patience and a sense of humour thrown in. I promised her I would write a small story about my faith for the next magazine. After the magazine finally came out, as we all enjoyed our tea and coffee after the service, a lady came over to my table in a very determined manner, holding a copy of the magazine with an extremely serious look on her face. I thought, Oops... she's going to tell me, 'Don't even think about writing any more articles, thank you!' But when she did arrive, what she said touched my heart. She told me she had been moved to tears by what I had written and it had really touched her and made her day. I felt so thrilled and at the same time so humbled. I have now had the pleasure of writing and submitting articles for the last twelve years. Finally, my minister and a few people from the congregation suggested I should put all the stories together into the form of a book which became Andrew's View and was published in 2015. A second book called Andrew's View Volume 2 Always with God was published in 2017.Since then, I have had many requests from people to release another book and I have had great pleasure compiling more of the stories into this third volume.
